Introduction 


This  bibliography  is  the  second  of  a  series  upon 
American  Social  Questions  prepared  by  the  students 
of  the  Wisconsin  Library  School,  Class  of  1908,  and 
submitted  by  them  in  fulfillment  of  the  requirements 
for  graduation.  The  aim  in  publishing-  the  bibli- 
ographies is  to  supply  carefully  chosen  reading  refer- 
ences to  up-to-date  books  and  recent  magazines  bear- 
ing on  urgent  questions  which  are  before  the  people. 
These  questions  have  all  aroused  general  popular  in- 
terest and  are  widely  discussed.  Among  them  are 
The  Negro,  Poverty,  Excessive  Wealth,  Municipal 
Government,  the  Increase  of  Crime,  and  the  Labor 
Problem.  Although  the  mass  of  material  which  has 
accumulated  on  all  of  these  questions  is  considerable 
the  lists  have  been  kept  small  and  the  references  care- 
fully selected  and  annotated  with  the  needs  of  the 
small  library  in  view. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  series  will  furnish  guides  to  the 
best  literature  and  be  of  use  to  those  desiring  to  look 
up  special  points  or  to  read  in  an  orderly  way.  Popu- 
lar articles  are  given  for  those  who  would  become 
familiar  with  the  main  issues  only,  as  well  as  scientific 
material  for  those  who  would  study  more  thoroughly. 

Interesting  subjects  for  high  school  and  literary 
society    debates    will  be    found   in   considering   the 


4  .  American   Social  Questions 

efFeetiyeiiess  of*,  various  methods  of  solving  the  prob- 
lems.' •  The  series  is  also  adaptable  as  an  outline  for 
study  or  discussions  in  civic  organizations,  betterment 
leagues,  social  settlement  clubs,  and  men's  clubs. 
The  arrangement  of  references,  by  means  of  which 
each  bibliography  becomes  a  logically  developed  study, 
follows  outlines  supplied  by  Mr.  Richard  Henry  Ed- 
wards of  Madison,  Wisconsin,  and  used  in  his  Social 
Problems  Group,  an  account  of  which  will  be  found 
in  Charities  and  the  Commons  for  October  17,  1908. 
The  accompanying  references  upon  the  Immigration 
Problem  have  been  approved  by  specialists.
